Recent research on the birth date and place of Reincken seems to suggest that he was actually born in Deventer, The Netherlands, where he was baptized on 10 December 1643 (see the Wikipedia article), contradictin Mattheson’s claim he was born on 27 April 1623, in Wilshausen, Germany.

Reincken then returned to Deventer in 1657, where he was to become organist in the “Bergkerk”. A year later he again moved to Hamburg to become Scheidemann’s assistant. Reincken then succeeded him in 1663, and stayed in function till his death.
